Maybe he was still. Maybe you and the buildings moved at the same time. Ever consider that? ;)

Those tall building do tend to sway in the breeze.


Really, though...you could have used some slight fill flash on the guy. Would have still looked great and froze him at the same time.

You have my sympathy Pete. A simple command that's all. The good old days of around 1900, people had to stay as still as possible for a few seconds and the black and white image still come out sharp with no PP to them, why because they stayed still. Yep you have my sympathy Pete.

yeh, in the "good old days" they would put people (normaly the "Gentleman" as the Ladies were seated), in front of a metal "support" that had a convenient "U" shaped bracket that fitted behind their neck.

Now where's that coat stand?....

For 15 seconds ? ! ? I hope your joking . You would have to get those Iron stands like they had way back when people didn't smile for photos. You could have used a little flash powder while you were at it.:lol: :lol: :lol:
